In Mississippi . . .

. . . defending yourself, your family, and your home against unidentified intruders is a capital offense.

Agitator summary:

Let's summarize: Cops mistakenly break down the door of a sleeping man, late at night, as part of drug raid. Turns out, the man wasn't named in the warrant, and wasn't a suspect. The man, frigthened for himself and his 18-month old daughter, fires at an intruder who jumps into his bedroom after the door's been kicked in. Turns out that the man, who is black, has killed the white son of the town's police chief. He's later convicted and sentenced to death by a white jury. The man has no criminal record, and police rather tellingly changed their story about drugs (rather, traces of drugs) in his possession at the time of the raid.

If EVER there was a case truly deserving of a pardon, this is it. Here is the contact information (without an email address, which I can't seem to find) for Mississippi governor Haley Barbour, so you can ask him to do it:

And CNN keeps crying about poor ACTUAL MURDERERS Mumia and Tookie? Where is their coverage of THIS?

[Update: Akira MacKenzie explains the Mumiatookiphilia and CoryMayephobia as well if not better than I could in the comments section of this Hit & Run piece.

I'm sure they wouldn't want to see this guy dead anymore than Tookie or Mumia.
However, like all political movements, you have to know your audience. The
former were oppressed by the white, male, capitalist power structure, so the
leftists largely make up the anti-death penalty movement see them as political
prisoners rather than "dirtbags." The latter used a filthy, filthy, gun to
defend himself from a bunch of armed thugs...ok, armed thugs with badges.
Although they might not want to see him executed, they don't want to be caught
up in a cause that get's them in bed with the "gun nuts" or "anti-government
kooks."

I mean, they might not get invited to any of Susan Sarandon's
parties if they did. ]
